I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was pre-diabetic 5 months ago. I’ve been living on full fat dairy and pomegranates. I was eating a small pomegranate every day because I LOVE pomegranates. I was unaware they are very high in sugar so I’ve cut them from my diet as well as high fat cottage cheese, cheese, and yogurt.

I drink 2% Fairlife milk. 13 grams of protein and 6 grams of sugar. I was drinking 20 ounces a day because that’s my cup size and it was the majority of my protein but I cut it to 8.

I don’t like vegetables and I hate fish. I tried the carnivore diet for 2 weeks and I was sick to my stomach. I’ve done keto in the past, but I can’t eat vegetables now; it gives me a bellyache.

I eat very little meat; I’m just not interested.

How do I lower my blood sugar and my cholesterol, which is really high, without meat and vegetables? How do I get protein and fiber?

Those things are all very low in carbohydrates and are unlikely to raise your blood gucose much. Why did you choose to cut them out of your diet?

You say you don't like vegetables, hate fish, and aren't interested in meat. you've also cut out most dairy.
I'm puzzled, what do you eat?
